Schöne Wissenschafts-Simulation als Propaganda gegen Propaganda: “Fake news on Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential election” – publiziert in “Science”
Die Fake-News-Diskussion treibt ihre fauligen Blüten nun auch in einstmals ernstzunehmenden Wissenschaftspublikationen. Pseudowissenschaftliche Propaganda findet Ihr z.B. hier:
Finding facts about fake news
There was a proliferation of fake news during the 2016 election cycle. Grinberg et al. analyzed Twitter data by matching Twitter accounts to specific voters to determine who was exposed to fake news, who spread fake news, and how fake news interacted with factual news (see the Perspective by Ruths). Fake news accounted for nearly 6% of all news consumption, but it was heavily concentrated—only 1% of users were exposed to 80% of fake news, and 0.1% of users were responsible for sharing 80% of fake news. Interestingly, fake news was most concentrated among conservative voters.
